Hi All
like all of you, I've been an Oakley fan for almost 20 years now,
my first pair was a Mag Switch Dark Carbide (non polarized) with time they started slowly deteriorating because of sweat and shocks, after 5 years I decided to polish them and cover them with a transparent epoxy resin base, they stood perfect until 2010 when I lost them while fishing on a boat (felt in the water and I was not able to retrive them back caus they sank too fast..)
Then I purchased a Style Swith which only lasted 2 years (the lens locking mechanism broke..)
I then decided to look for a second pair of Mag Switch on the net, I found a perfect new pair (Ti copper) on ebay, which I use on a daily basis for now 8 years (proud owner
), they will also need a refurbishement soon, this time I will polish, epxoythem and try to adapt polarize Oakley lens, I need to find the right sizeof lens to cut them at the correct dimension.
While lurking on the forum I saw that Romeo and Penny models are sometimes offered for sale, and look forward to buying one of those as I'm really in love with Oakley
Cheers
